It’s the first time the City has been equipped with a diesel engine, and it has also been confirmed that the City diesel will get a six-speed manual gearbox.

The new City retains the 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine. Whilst the previous engine produced 118 bhp, the new engine has been improved. The City diesel gets the same 1.5-liter EarthDreams engine as on the Amaze sedan.

On the outside, the new City is an evolution of the older model, but does not share common panels or parts. The front features familiar headlamps and a new front grille that gets more chrome than the previous model. The lovely character lines down the side have been retained. The rear lights too have undergone a makeover, with another chrome belt giving it a premium feel.
